HOOTIE & THE BLOWFISH

- Time Lyrics

Time, why you punish me?
Like a wave bashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams.
Time, why you walk away?
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Can you teach me about tommorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
Time, I don't understand
Children killing in the street
Dying for the color of rag
Time, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean, make them clean,
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight
Can you teach me about tomorrow
All the pain and sorrow
Running free?
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in...
[chorus:]
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where i'm goin'
I think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
And if I die tomorrow, yeah
Just lay me down in sleep
[chorus]
Time, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
Now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tomorrow
And all the pain and sorrow
Running free?
'Cause tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in time
[chorus]
Time, why you punish me?

What is the meaning behind Time lyrics?


When we dive into the story the lyrics are telling, Hootie & The Blowfish's "Time" is a musical piece that probes into the passing time and its effect on human lives, thereby questioning the injustices and brutalities that take place. The words express the feeling of being powerless about the future and the disbelief in the time concept, so bringing into light the transitory character of life and the hardships that people suffer in the realm of grief and sorrow. Time lyrics give majorly prominence to reflections, angst, heartbreak, loneliness, and despair. Nevertheless, the song still points out the necessity of the passage of time, suffering, and existential contemplation. The lyrics are rich with motifs of violence and death, particularly in the lines that talk about kids shooting each other in the streets and dying because of the color of a rag. Such themes may not be appropriate for children younger than 13 which makes it a PG-13 rated movie.

Time is bitter sweet. A birth given freind whos nature is to grow apart.Drifts away when not looking and only stands still to your face, only to make haste behind your back.One day becoming your enemy
